Leonard Nimoy

I was surprised to find out that Spock- I mean Leonard Nimoy is a photo hobbyist. I like his Edweard Muybridge approach to time. I also like his concept of yielding power/control to time.

Re-shooting Old Photographs

This is my find of the week, well besides FCHW, because I think these are a really successful play on our seemingly innate emotional attachment to old photos.

FCHW

FCHW!

I have a lot of problems with this video: the word is successful not sussessful, faith in oneself is more powerful than faith in a non-existent magical entity, and SpokenReasons is generally a touch obnoxious . . . the list goes on and on . . .

HOWEVER,

I believe FCHW, with the addendum that faith be in oneself, is an excellent practice for success as we approach finals and the rest of our artistic careers.

I will close with the words of SpokenReasons:  “I ain’t shit . . . YET!”

oof

Never before seen photograph of the construction of Tower Bridge being constructed have been unveiled after a stash of hundred-year-old photos were found in a skip. The 50 sepia pictures, dating back to 1892, reveal in incredible detail the ingenuity behind one of the capital's most popular tourist destinations. The discarded pictures, which were retrieved by a caretaker who was looking after a building being turned into flats in 2006, have spent the last five years in a carrier bag underneath his bed.

James Day

I love the way James Day lights his portraits...can't wait to take lighting and studio classes for this very reason. I'd like to ask him about his set up. The images are all really crisp. Some of the images in his portrait series include multiple angles of the same person; I really enjoy that idea. Here's his website.
